Fuzzy toolbar

[Johnnymac]

I was playing with some different resolutions and now by taskbar is looks wierd after going back to the original resolution I had. It's just the icons on the taskbar. Check it out:

Does anyone have any suggestions to correct this?

Reboot your pc??

Also, if you double click on the icons, does it fix it? You can also try right clicking on the icons and go into properties etc...

Change the icon of the program to something else by right clicking on it in the start|all programs menu, then choose change icon. Change it to anything else, click OK etc... then change it back.

Try lowering your resolution to 800x600 etc..., reboot, then raise it back to whatever it is.

I don't think I can change the icons. It is this section thats bad:

Rebooting did not help.

Thanks though

how do u get the up time to be displayed on your desktop?? and how do you get the day under the time in your task bar? as for the fuzzy icons maybe turn on/off clear type...

Right-click on the desktop and choose "Properties", click the "Settings" tab, and then click the "Advanced" button.

On the "General" tab, check the DPI setting. Is it set to "Normal Size (96 DPI)"?

If not, change it to that and reboot and see if that fixes it.

Let me know how it goes. :)

I am set to normal (96 DPI) That's what I was messing with before acutally. I had set it customer to make them smaller and It looked like crap. When I went back to normal mode is when got the wierdness.

Thanks for your help.

I am using Cmon for the uptime etc. I saw it on some desktop pics here at G|A, just google it. I'm not sure why the date is on the task bar.

Any luck with changing the resolution?

It could be that when you changed your DPI font size, that part of the task bar never changed back.

No Prob! I had issues trying to DL it yesterday. Check the file size when it comes down. Make sure it's like 847kb or something.
